Lise Meitner Award Fellowship
(Max Planck Postdoctoral Fellowship for Excellent Women in CS)
Max Planck Institute for Informatics
Saarbruecken, Germany
Application deadline: November 15th 2011
*****************************************************************
The Max Planck Institute for Informatics (MPI-INF) is inviting
applications for the 2012 Lise Meitner Award. The Lise Meitner Award is
awarded annually by the Max Planck Institute for Informatics to attract
and support excellent female postdoctoral scientists in their careers.
Besides a competitive two-year research fellowship, Lise Meitner fellows
receive a generous budget for travel and other work-related expenses.
The Max Planck Society (MPG) is Germany's largest society for
fundamental research with more than 30 Nobel Prize winners, including
Prof. Christiane Nuesslein-Volhard - one of the few female Nobel
Laureates. The research institutes of the Max Planck Society have a
national and international reputation as Centers of Excellence for
foundational research. The Max Planck Institute for Informatics is
devoted to cutting-edge research in computer science and technology with
a focus on algorithms and their applications in a broad sense. The
research ranges from foundations (algorithms and complexity, automation
of logic) to a variety of application domains (computer graphics and
vision, geometric computation, program verification, database systems
and internet search, and computational biology).
The MPI for Informatics is located on the campus of the Saarland
University in Saarbruecken, Germany. The campus of the Saarland
University is also home to the Max Planck Institute for Software
Systems, the German Research Institute for Artificial Intelligence, the
Cluster of Excellence on Multimodal Computing and Interaction, the
Center for Bioinformatics, and the Graduate School of Computer Science.
These institutions cooperate closely and comprise a total of more than
300 researchers in computer science. The institute collaborates with
several of the major research institutions in Europe and the U.S. and
has high international visibility. The MPI for Informatics strives to
provide a family-friendly work environment with options for day care of
smaller children and other means of support for working mothers.
Fellows will be chosen based on the strength of their academic
background and research credentials. Applications should include a
resume, cover letter, publication list, short research plan (one page is
enough), and two references.
